Recording of our 70th anniversary Cumberland Conversation seminar, with guest speaker Theodore Zeldin, the renowned philosopher, writer and historian. Theodore speaks to Cumberland Lodge principal, Ed Newell, about the importance of conversation.

Members of the audience were invited to participate in 45 minutes of in-depth, one-to-one conversations with other attendees who they hadn't met before, as part of the event. This portion has been edited out of the audio. The event ends with questions from the audience (from 23 mins 25 seconds).
